Information

Stanier's Turbomotive, often referred to as 'The Turbo' was an experimental non-condensing steam turbine locomotive inspired by similar Swedish Ljungström locomotives. No. 6202 was built as the third of the Princess Royal Class by Stanier, an attempt to innovate steam locomotive technology with the advent of Dieselisation and Grouping upending the traditional notions of rail transport.

With the nationalisation of Britain#s railways, the 'Princess Royal' Class Turbomotive later shed its LMS insignia, to be replaced with the new emblem of British Rail and a black livery shortly after receiving its new crest. After a long period of general repair, Turbomotive returned to the main line in 1947 under the number 46202, continuing its function as a distinct and entirely uniquely designed steam turbine locomotive.
